Today, it’s not just financial services firms exploring fintech solutions, but also non-financial firms,” said Rakefet Russak Aminoach, Managing Partner at Team8. “Both need to be able to access the right combination of financial technology and financial expertise as they grow their offerings. The relationship with Deloitte is a wonderful opportunity for us to engage with these companies in order to share experiences and learnings.”
